  A bit of OT, but all Mac owners, could you check http://www.hitmixuk.com
and tell me if this site works for you....I know that for some mac users
none of the links or texts get displayed...ands I have no idea what the
problem might be. So any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Siim
